IN THE NIAGARA RAPIDS.
A Mans PerIlOus Position Close TO the
Horseshoe Falls.

Lying close to the brink of the Horseshoe
Falls at Niagara, beyond the old TeIrapin
bridge, there is big rock. Between this and
the bridge there are three logs. The other
day, j. F. Neville of Montreal, ventured to
walk out on the logs to the rock. After going
out some distance ON the logs he slipped off
and fell into the rapids. Instantly he was
carried under the logs and dashed
against the third log, head first. Though
somewhat stunned, he caught hold of the log
and hung on, with his feet projecting over
the brink. BY superhuman effort he drew
himself up along the log until he was about
three feet from the brink, where he secured
a footing. He was rescued from his peril
Gus position by teamster, who happened to
be in the vicinity with his horses. The har-
ness was stripped from the team and the
lines check reins and other traps buckled
together until a line of sufficient length to
reach the man made 1t was thrown out
with a moose on one end, which Neville
caught and succeeded in getting over his
head and under his arms. He was then
drawn to place of safety, after having been
in the rapids for nearly an hour.

expected to cross the Atlantic and pass along

Sunday night last two men of tho TWEEN

drinking went to the home of two Moore
brothers. who had two sisters living with
them. The two visitors went for the pur-
pose of having the brothers vacate the
premises, leave the country and appear no
more forever. The Moore brothers objected
as they could not take their sisters on so
short a notice One of the visitors drew a
huge knife put it to the throat of one
of the Moores and told him it was leave
in the flesh or out of it, The
other brother, seeing that the advan-
tage was on the side of the visitor, gathered
the remnant of rail, and lifting it high in
the air made furious blow at the head of
the visitor number one. Visitor number
two attempted to save his friend and re-
Ceived a blow ON his Uranium. which was
hardly well from a recent beating, which
knocked him to the earth, and he, with his

burglars secured entrance through a back
window, and, without delay aud molesta-
ton, proceeded to 'boodleize' the store. The
safe was blown open with dynamite and
about $50 in money secured. None of the
valuable papers were stolen, though several
were torn to bits. The cigar case was Wis
tied and several weeds purloined. The
money orders, advices and registry receipts
were torn to pieces. While this will not en-
tail any actual loss, it win cause some incon-
yenience and trouble The worst part re
mains to be told After the burglars had
secured what they wanted they deliberately
set fire TO the building Fortunately the
wind could not reach the blaze, and it
smoldered until morning, when it was dis
covered and extinguished. Within twenty
feet of the storehouse is a dwelling, but
strange to say the inmates were not awak
ened by the explosion Of the safe.

CALIFORNIA.
ORLANDO,


The County seat of Orange County, has no COM
plant to make against the number OF peoEhe
who are going to California. The Registers OF
the thirteen hotels in Orlando show two VlsltorS
to one this season over any past year.
The fact is that the vacancy in Jacksonville
and st. Augustine is not caused by the numoer
of people who have gone 10 California, but by
the fact that the great number Of people VINO
are coming to Florida are finding their way TO
Orlando and other points South. There are
over one hundred thousand dollars worth OF
brick buildings now going up in Orlando
Street car tracks are being laid over the entire
city. Water Works and Electric Lights are in
process of construction In fact, Orlando is on
the biggest boom she hos ever known.
Statistics show that more property has
changed hands in and around Orlando than IN
Birmingham Alabama. WATKINS x Co,
situated next door to First National Bank who
are the leading Real Estate Agents i'll South
Florida, are constantly busy with their hand
some team showing visitors around, and claim
that they are doing more business than all the
other agencies in the city. They have made
point of taking no land on their books held at
an cXorbitant price. They invite an inspection
of their $50 per acre land, situated three miles
from Orlando. They have also filst-class pine
land, seven miles from Orlando, at SIS per acre.
Good building lots in Orlando at $3.50. First
class pine lands 50 to So per acre. They have
two orange groves that they guarantee will pay
20 per cent. net on the Investment. In connec-
ton with their Office is d first-cass reading
room iii which is kept all the standard English
and American papers. The distinctive features
of this Agency is that they sell only for com
missions and do not do a SPECULATIVE bust

impress upon parties placing land in their hands
the advantage of making quick sale at small
profits, If You should go to Florida do not fail
